Financing Your Petland Store. The cost of developing your
Petland franchise varies with the size of your store. Depending
on your available credit and collateral, you can finance up
to 80 percent of the development cost of your franchise. Petland
will assist you in developing a business plan and loan-request
package. Then we will help you in choosing the right lending
institution and in preparing for your presentation to lenders.
Petland will assist you in evaluating your market demographics.
Determining traffic patterns, population, and development
trends are critical to the site location and lease negotiation
process. Petland will make a careful analysis of the market
to determine if there is adequate population in the area to
support your business plan. The site location is a joint effort.
The location must be approved by you and Petland. Once a location
has met our mutual criteria, we will conduct lease negotiation
for you. As an established company with a name that is trusted
in the pet business, Petland can assist you in negotiating
the best space available at the best terms.
Petland stores are designed to make customer service and pet
care efficient and productive. Petland stores range in size
from 2,000 to 12,000 square feet, largely determined by specific
market factors and strategic partner budget. Regardless of
store size, Petland designers will utilize the space to take
advantage of existing conditions. Our goal, to keep costs
in line while developing a Petland store that will make the
most of the market’s opportunities. Petland custom fixtures
are state-of-the-art in function and design. Each of the kennel,
bird, small animal, reptile, and tropical fish units are a
product of more than 35 years of scrutiny by Petland strategic
partners. Fixtures are designed to meet the needs of the animals
to be housed, and the Petland associates who will care for
them... while giving maximum consideration to proper merchandising
so all pets are presented from their best vantage point.
Petland can offer you turnkey services in developing your
Petland store, whatever your needs may be. Whether it’s
handling leasehold improvement construction to prepare the
premises for the custom Petland fixtures, ordering and installing
the fixtures, or pricing and merchandising the pet supplies.
You may choose to provide some or all of the construction
and development management with the assistance of the Petland
team.
